I played this a few times when I was 15, having inherited it from an older relative.

I thought it was total cobblers.

Has my view of it softened now that I've had more exposure to a greater variety of music, since then?

Here's where we find out.

Alan Parsons produced both this and the Pilot album.

I almost bought a copy of this...

This at 8:30pm?

It was most light, poppy option available.

Can we do Mentrix 2morrow, I've been waiting an age for the Sun Yellow LP to turn up.

What a damming indictment on something or other.


I'm in!

Quiet start.

Starts all orchestra tuning uppy.

Discordancy.

Harley with his silly affected vocals.

I have a theory that Cockney Rebel were the Boomtown Rats of the early 1970s. Will I be proven right?

Quite a bit of the old Roxy Music.

Violin solo.
